Described by Karl Marx as a 'monstrous gnome' and condemned by the left for suppressing the Paris Commune of 1871, he enjoyed a controversial political career, but it is for his epic Histoire de la Révolution Française that he is chiefly remembered today. It was first published in French in ten volumes between 1823 and 1827, and in 1838 Frederic Shoberl's English translation made it a staple of British bookshelves. Consolidated into five volumes and illustrated with an array of engravings, this edition presents readers with a history of events spanning more than a decade of revolution and war, and remains one of the most comprehensive accounts of the French Revolution. Volume 4 begins with the consequences of Robespierre's downfall and concludes with an analysis of Napoleon's Italian victories in 1796.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe National Convention: Consequences of the ninth of Thermidor\u003cbr\u003e Renewal of military operations\u003cbr\u003e Winter of the year III\u003cbr\u003e Conquest of Holland\u003cbr\u003e Peace with Holland\u003cbr\u003e Last conflicts between the Mountaineers and the Thermidorians\u003cbr\u003e State of the armies\u003cbr\u003e Intrigues of the Royalist party in the sections\u003cbr\u003e The Directory: installation of the Directory\u003cbr\u003e Continuation of the administration operations of the Directory\u003cbr\u003e Campaign of 1796\u003cbr\u003e Clarke at headquarters.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: European history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on European history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22European%20history%20%5BHBJD%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266044547352,"sku":"9781108035293","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108035293i.jpg?v=1694873837","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-history-of-the-french-revolution-paperback-9781108035293","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
